Science Fair Fare: One Minute Mysteries: 65 Short Mysteries You Solve with Science by Eric Yoder

As science fair time rolls around again, one problem with the prospective entrants is getting them up for the task. Luckily, there's a book, recently published and already a top seller, which specializes in jump-starting the scientific mind.

Eric Yoder's One Minute Mysteries: 65 Short Mysteries You Solve With Science! is an entertaining and motivating mystery book which leads the reader from a puzzle to experiments to principles which solve the mystery with science. Using different branches of the sciences to tempt all tastes, this is a great choice for reading aloud in the weeks leading up to fair time.

A science mystery a day drives the ennui away, turning pooped pupils into Sherlocks of science!

About Me

Retired after 32+ years as an elementary librarian, I really miss the joy of bringing together the right book with the right reader at the right time. Loving both kids and books equally as I do, perhaps helping children and the adults who care about them find good books through this blog is the next best thing to being there.
I am an Amazon associate, which means that clicking on the image of a book I reviewed or on the title of any book mentioned in the review will take you to full publishing and purchasing information, as well as other reviews and comments for most books. I also receive review copies from publishers or authors from time to time, with no implied promise that the books will be reviewed favorably or at all.
